Project : Create a TED like event in next 60 days focussed on volunteering

Background :

The structure of the TED event itself is designed to promote deep informal interactions amongst the speakers and participants who are curated, and for a long time, were invite only.

Volunteering has gain acceptance over past few years. There are a number of organisations (like Youth for Seva) to facilitate volunteering, and a number of companies who promote volunteering within. The third stake holder would be partner NGOs who work on the ground.

TED is a registered brand name that needs a prior license for using. Our intention is to pick up useful elements from TED / INK talks and create our own version.

Goal :

Organize a 1 day event for various stakeholders in the volunteering domain. The desired outcome would be better understanding of challenges faced and solutions that have gained traction. Also provide 100 odd participants a platform to intermingle.

Ideal Team :

The following team members are likely to add value:

Team of 3-5 people to connect with corporates who promote volunteering

Team of 3 – 5 people to connect with partner NGOs who do on ground work
